Crash in generic struct

Using Swift
1

Hello,

This code causes a segmentation fault:

struct MyHeapElement<T:Comparable>
  {
  var index:Int
  var key:T
  }

struct MyHeap<T:Comparable>
  {
  var elements = [MyHeapElement<T>]()
  }

extension MyHeap
  {
  init( withElements elements:[MyHeapElement<T>] )
    {
    self.elements = elements
    }
  }

Do I have a syntax error somewhere or is this a compiler bug (apart from that ideally the compiler should never crash)?

Swift 2.1-2.2

Drop the extension and move the initializer to the MyHeap struct and it
compiles for me on Swift 3.0. To me that indicates the answer to your
first question: I would think you do not have a syntax error. That is:

struct MyHeapElement <T:Comparable> {
  var index: Int
  var key: T
}

struct MyHeap <T:Comparable> {
  var elements = [MyHeapElement<T>]()

  init(withElements elements: [MyHeapElement<T>]) {
    self.elements = elements
  }
}

Regardless of whether it is or not you should file the bug at
bugs.swift.org. As you say the compiler should never crash.

That way I lose the memberwise initializer and the default initializer.
This is yet another crashing bug related to the position of an extension.

In December I reported this bug which looks similar:

bug 23998571

If the struct definition and the extension are placed in two different files of a framework project the compiler crashes.

struct Description
  {
  var property:Int32 = 0
  }

extension Description
  {
  init( startPtr: UnsafePointer<Int32> )
    {
      property = startPtr[0]
      }
  }

Still open, still crashing.

bug 23998571

That number looks like a radar issue. Swift bugs typically take the form
SR-#.

I don't work at Apple (nor do many people on this mailing list).
Therefore we cannot see the contents of that bug report.

Once again I suggest you file an issue at bugs.swift.org as that is the
OSS community tracker.

As for losing the default initializer; I understand that may occur. I
was pointing out that it was my simple way of validating the syntax. It
may or may not work as a "work-around". It would appear it does not for
you.
